mysqli for WordPress 2.9.1

January 7th, 2010 • freebies, mysql, patch, wordpress

wordpress-logoWordPress does not officialy support the mysqli drivers. I needed my WordPress installation to use the mysqli class instead of the mysql ones. I’m sure there will be someone else out there with the same needs I decided to place the modified database class and the patch file online. Use whichever you prefer.

      Excellent work, I was amazed to see that WordPress doesn’t work out of the box with mysqli. I no longer compile/install PHP with the old mysql-api, especially not with 5.3.x and the new mysqlnd.

      Unfortunately on my test host (Windows) I do not get it work installing. So I can not say anything, whether it works or not.

      First look in sources tells me, that not everything was patched for mysqli.
